About Doç. Dr. Özkuvancı

Dr. Ünsal Özkuvancı is a urologist in Istanbul. He graduated from Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine in Bursa in 1991. He trained in urology at Haseki Training and Research Hospital, then continued at the same clinic as a urology specialist. His own account gives 1996 as the year he qualified in urology.

He later passed the paediatric urology subspecialty examination and completed subspecialty training in the Division of Paediatric Urology at Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, qualifying formally as a paediatric urologist. He completed his compulsory state service in that subspecialty at Bağcılar Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences. He was awarded the title of Associate Professor in urology by ÜAK in 2019.

His research profile lists around 40 publications with over 670 citations. The work most relevant to adult andrology is his 2017 study in International Braz J Urol on the long-term durability of tunica albuginea plication for congenital penile curvature. That paper followed patients operated before puberty into adulthood, and reported that only 5 of 13 patients had straight erections in adulthood, with the remainder showing recurrent curvature between 10° and 50° — a finding he published against his own technique, and one now cited in European narrative reviews on congenital penile curvature. He also co-authored a 54-patient study on the Allium bulbar urethral stent for recurrent bulbar urethral stricture, carried out during his time at Haseki.

He describes himself as currently working privately in paediatric urology and reconstructive urology. His own site positions him across paediatric urology, reconstructive urology, andrology and functional urology. We have not been able to confirm adult andrology case volume from any independent source, so we make no claim about it. Türkiye has no public individual licence lookup, so no registration number is shown here. This profile is not yet verified.

Common questions

Is Dr. Ünsal Özkuvancı an andrologist?
Not by formal subspecialty. His official subspecialty diploma is in paediatric urology, awarded after training at Istanbul University. His own practice site lists andrology among his areas of interest, and his published reconstructive work covers penile curvature and urethral stricture. For adult andrology procedures specifically, we recommend asking directly about his annual volume in that procedure.
What is Dr. Özkuvancı best known for?
Reconstructive genital surgery and paediatric urology. His most cited andrology-relevant paper studied long-term outcomes of tunica albuginea plication for congenital penile curvature and is referenced in European reviews on the condition. He also co-authored one of the larger published series on the Allium bulbar urethral stent for recurrent urethral stricture.
Does Dr. Özkuvancı perform penile implant surgery?
His own website lists penile prosthesis implantation under his andrology services. We have found no publication, case-volume figure or device-manufacturer record confirming this, so we do not present him as a penile implant surgeon. If penile implant surgery is what you need, ask for his annual implant number and which devices he uses before booking.
Is Dr. Özkuvancı a professor?
He holds the title of Associate Professor (Doçent Doktor), awarded in urology in 2019. He is not a full Professor.
Where does Dr. Özkuvancı practise?
He runs a private practice in Nişantaşı, Şişli, Istanbul. Hospital affiliations should be confirmed directly, as listings change.
Is Dr. Özkuvancı registered with the Turkish Medical Association (TTB)?
Türkiye has no public individual registration lookup, so we cannot display a registration number. Registration can be verified through the Istanbul Medical Chamber (İstanbul Tabip Odası).
How many procedures has Dr. Özkuvancı performed?
No sourced case-volume figure exists for this surgeon. We do not publish unsourced numbers.
